All my life I've always wanted
To have one day just for me,
Nothing to do
And for once no where I need to be.

With no lessons, Lords, or luncheons
Or to-do list in the way,
No one to say when to eat or read or leave or stay.
That would be the day.

Erica:
All my life I've always wanted
To have one day for myself
Not waking up with a pile of work
On every shelf.

With no hems in need of pressing
And no sleeves in disarray,
No wedding gown with a thousand stitches to crochet.
And no debt to pay.

Erica:
What would it be like to be?

Anneliese:
What would it be like to be?

Anneliese:
Free.

Erica:
Free.

Anneliese:
Free to try crazy things.

Erica:
Free from endless IOUs.

Anneliese:
Free to fly.

Erica:
Free to sing.

Anneliese:
And marry whom I choose.

You would think that I'm so lucky
That I have so many things
I'm realizing that every present
Comes with strings.

Erica:
Though I know I have so little
My determination's strong,
People will gather around the world
To hear my song.

Anneliese:
Now I fear I'll never be

Erica:
Soon I will forever be

Both:
Free.

I close my eyes and feel myself
Fly a thousand miles away,
I could take flight
But would it be right,
My conscious tells me stay.

Anneliese:
I'll remain forever royal.

Erica:
I'll repay my parent's debt.

Both:
Duty means doing the things
Your heart may well regret.

Anneliese:
But I'll never stop believing.

Erica:
She can never stop my schemes.

Both:
There's more to living than
Gloves and gowns and hems and seams.
In my dreams
I'll be free.
